We see it being used in a variety of places. So for instance in the retail

space we've seen retailers take their image catalogues and use the vision

APIs to search for particular attributes of the clothing in the

catalog. So for instance they might be interested in showing a customer just

the green dresses in the catalog or the brown socks for instance. In other cases

we've seeing our customers use the the natural language processing ability of

the cloud to listen to a conversation and then convert that into text that can

be consumed by an application for engaging with customers and customer

care scenarios. And we've seen energy retailers take energy consumption data

and use AI machine learning to apply to that data to advise customers on you

know how their consumption of energy compares to other similar customers in

the area. So we see a lot of space for innovation we see a lot of customers

taking existing data sets and then applying machine learning to pull

further insights and further analytics out of those data sets to drive business

outcomes.

For one of the big four banks that I've worked with we have used AI

and machine learning just to be able to automate and repeated work that our

human workforce used to do. For example a loan officer or a credit assessor would

actually go through a large amount of documentation in order to understand

whether the customer that you being credited to is a good customer and also

what's an ideal customer would look like, and also the next best conversation you

can have with customer. All of that experience when a machine learning like

capabilities were available to the creditor they were able to much better

service the customer and the customer was I would say in a way delighted with

that experience. As opposed to taking the human element completely away. So in

a way you can actually scale a little bit forward as we go across but AI as a

big technology you just want to don't and drop it in the bank environment and

just run with it. It needs to be hand held, it needs to be advocated, it needs

to be have proper awareness around it so people actually embrace those kind of

technologies.

So what we've seen over the last five to ten years is an evolution in some of

the capabilities that are available to to customers of Google Cloud and some of

the other technology platforms out there. Cloud enables customers to tap into huge

amounts of CPU cycles very cost-effectively and also allows them to

tap into cheap and ubiquitous storage. And these are two things that are really

necessary to begin seriously contemplating AI machine learning and

enterprise applications. And then that combined with advances in the state of

the art and things like neural network technologies and other two forms of AI

machine learning mean that enterprises of any kind can begin to entertain the

notion of doing advanced analytics on data that they've otherwise not being

able to tap into for insights.

Sega Megadrive 90s Classic 'Streets Of Rage' Is Finally Making A Comeback - Duration: 2:29.

 It's very good news for fans of retro gaming, as more than 25 years after the original hit our Sega Megadrives, Streets of Rage Four is set to be released

 The game, which was a cult classic when released all the way back in 1991, spawned three sequels (but don't bother with the third because it was woeful) and is now set to get a long-awaited fourth thanks to publisher DotEmu and developers Lizardcube and Guard Crush Games

 A trailer has dropped but reveals few details other than the fact it will remain in glorious 2D-scrolling format, albeit with sharper graphics - and to confirm that Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding will be back

However, the third member of the original trio, Adam Hunter, who only made cameo appearances in the sequels, isn't featured

via GIPHY As for bad-guys, well, who knows? But hopefully Mr X will be back to bring some 'lashing-the-controller-at-the-screen' moments

 According to a brief description on the game's website: "Streets of Rage 4 builds upon the classic trilogy's gameplay with new mechanics, a fresh story and a gauntlet of dangerous stages with a serious crime problem

Streets of Rage 4 recalls classic gameplay but it stands as an entirely original arcade-style romp"

 Of course, fans of the originals are excited already:  As yet, there's no information on when it will be arriving or on what platforms, so looks like we'll have to sit tight and just keep our fingers crossed, eh?  Until then, I think now is the perfect time to go back and replay the originals

10-man Pirates beat Leopards as Gabuza is shown red for gesturing at the fans - Duration: 4:33.

10-man Pirates beat Leopards as Gabuza is shown red for gesturing at the fans

10-man Pirates beat Leopards as Gabuza is shown red for gesturing at the fans.

  Orlando Pirates edged Black Leopards 2-1 in Tuesday night's action-packed Absa Premiersghip game at Peter Mokaba Stadium that had it all - the good, the bad and, in the case of Thamsanqa Gabuza's behaviour, the weird.

Bucs took a 2-0 lead through Thivhavhudzi Ndou's 34th-minute own goal and Vincent Pule's strike in the 66th.

Joseph Mhlongo pulled one back in the 70th.

Bizarrely, Pirates played with 10 men from their opening goal in the 34th, though they were only officially reduced by a player in the 51st.

The culprit was big striker Gabuza, and the reviews of his actions that led to his double booking and red card from referee Thando Ndzandzeka will be much scrutinised in the post-match media analysis.

After missing a string of chances and having his own supporters on his back, Gabuza produced the cross that led to Ndou's own goal.

The big centre-forward then stormed off the field, and when he returned 17 playing minutes later seemingly feigning injury he was shown double yellow by Ndzandzeka.

Gabuza had a torrid first half.

The much-maligned striker whose bustling contribution is so often overshadowed by a lack of a final product in goals, seemed to come out with a point to prove.

He ran and jostled himself into scoring positions though, again, lacking a finish.

Bucs also were clinical in some incisive passing movements to pry Leopards open and set up their big striker for chance after chance.

Then his night got weird.

From another fine movement by Pirates the striker was in space down the left, putting in a low cross that Ndou sliced past his own goalkeeper into his net.

Gabuza had a rush of blood, charging next to his own dugout, ripping his shirt off and throwing it in frustration at his own fans.

He was angrily pushed back by his coach, Milutin Sredojevic.

But the striker just kept walking, into the tunnel and then the change rooms.

Bucs played the last 11 minutes of the half with 10 men.

In what seemed a ruse to try to prevent action against Gabuza, , six minutes after the restart the striker came limping out heavily strapped, even though he'd walked off unhindered.

Referee Ndzandzeka was having none of it.

His first delayed yellow seemed to be for the shirt incident, and second for the storm-off and unsportsmanlike behaviour.

Bucs initially did not let the strangeness of it all disrupt their focus.

They continued to plug away a man down and Xola Mlambo's chip found Pule steaming into a netball field of space and finishing.

The from Mwape Musonda's angled pass, substitute Mhlongo saw a first shot from the edge of the area blocked, then connected a fine dipping volley to the the looping rebound, pulling one back for Leopards.

Robert Mueller Is Planning This Indictment That Could Be The End Of Donald Trump - Duration: 12:37.

Robert Mueller Is Planning This Indictment That Could Be The End Of Donald Trump

Robert Mueller's goal is to destroy Donald Trump.

Muller has probed into Trump's campaign and business to find the smoking gun that

proves Trump committed a crime.

The special counsel recently settled on this indictment, and it could lead to Trump resigning

from office.

A Trump Advisor Makes A Shocking Prediction In an interview with Political Insider, Trump

advisor Roger Stone exposed Mueller's plan to ruin Trump.

Stone predicted, "The special counsel is going to charge Donald Trump Jr. with lying

to the FBI.

Notice they're not charging him for having an illegal meeting with a Russian at Trump

Tower because there's nothing illegal about that meeting."

"… the only thing illegal about that meeting was how the woman got in the country, how

she got a visa from the Obama State Department, and why she was meeting with an official from

Fusion GPS before and after the Trump Tower meeting."

"He's done nothing wrong," Stone concluded.

The Media Uses Fake News To Convict Donald Trump, Jr.

Donald Trump, Jr. testified to Congress that he never told Trump about the June 2016 Trump

Tower meeting where a group of Russians had promised "dirt" on Hillary Clinton.

But the Russians real purpose of the meeting was to lobby the Trump campaign on lifting

a ban on Russian adoptions.

CNN recently aired a story claiming former Trump lawyer Michel Cohen had proof that Trump,

Jr. had lied to Congress.

The left-wing network said Cohen revealed that Donald Trump did know about the meeting

in advance.

Cohen's testimony would allow Mueller to charge Trump, Jr. with lying to Congress.

Roger Stone believes this is still in play.

Stone claims Trump, Jr. sat for an FBI interview, although no media outlet has yet confirmed

this fact.

Robert Mueller Sets A Trap For The President Mueller charging Trump, Jr. is a direct attack

on the President.

Trump supporters believe Mueller would take this course of action to pressure Trump to

resign.

Mueller would present Trump with a choice.

If Trump stayed to fight, he'd work to jail his son.

Or he could walk away and spare his family.

Martin London – who was the lawyer for Richard Nixon's Vice President Spiro Agnew – wrote

a Time op-ed stating Trump would have to resign to protect his family.

"If he has any interest at all in not only saving his skin, but the skin of his child,

his children, his son-in-law, his grandchildren, his daughter — this is a time when he's

got to seriously think about that.

Now, is he capable of that, of serious thinking?

Frankly, I doubt it," London wrote.

Mueller's goal is to get rid of Trump by any means necessary.

He will terrorize Trump's family if that accomplishes his objective of overthrowing

the President.
